Summer 2025 Transfer Window

Maybe we are getting both?

RowJimmy

Klaus
It's entirely possible that we think they're equivalent in the long run (one is better in this way, the other in some other way) and so cost becomes a relevant factor.
I haven't watched enough of either to have an opinion either way but it's pretty clear to me that the rest of the world does not consider it to be as cut-and-dried as you do.

Klaus

RowJimmy I wasn't talking about my preference. I meant the club should have a clear idea of who they want to sign.

Mirth

Klaus could just be leverage while negotiating. could be insurance that you don't leave the summer window empty handed. Don't see a problem

Don Pacifico

Mirth Berta working those Italian media contacts.

JazzG

Klaus It is also about negotiating, I think the club internally do have a preference but you don't want the selling club to know this. There is no buy out clause so we need to agree a deal and if they know we are actively pursuing other options unless they've got another club lined up it will put them under pressure to do a deal.

Meatwad

or maybe we're signing both just like atletico signed alvarez and sorloth last summer.

remember when we had henry, adebayor, rvp and julio baptista on the pitch at the same time? from that list julio is the closest to our poverty options (at full strength) right now.

Pepe LeFrits

Meatwad or maybe we're signing both just like atletico signed alvarez and sorloth last summer.

Only real possibility for that I can see is if they've decided they don't like any of the winger options and are planning a squad of:

Gyokeres/Sesko
Martinelli/Trossard Odegaard/Havertz Saka/Nwaneri

... but I don't see it happening.

Pepe LeFrits

Meatwad remember when we had henry, adebayor, rvp and julio baptista on the pitch at the same time? from that list julio is the closest to our poverty options (at full strength) right now.

Did we ever have them on the pitch at the same time? It was a lousy set of options for a 442 team anyway. Henry had declined a lot and missed a load of that season, van Persie was a sicknote as well (as he was for a lot of his Arsenal career) and Baptista and Adebayor were shit.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Pepe LeFrits our top scorer that season was Adebayor with 13 lol. But I still prefer that set of strikers to our current ones. Poverty either way.

Meatwad

Pepe LeFrits
yes, a famous example was henry's winner against manyoo.

Meatwad

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert
actually it was rvp 13, ade 12, henry 12, gilberto 11, baptista 10

and then the next season we had adebayor, rvp and eduardo.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Meatwad ah yes RvP with 13. Thanks.

Pepe LeFrits

Meatwad and then the next season we had adebayor, rvp and eduardo.

Don't you dare forget about Bendtner

tazmania

Klaus it's bewildering. The reports must be fake, we're not getting both. That's an awful misuse of funds

Sicario2

Chelsea reject time

JazzG

Duncan Castles has not been reliable for a long time so take this with a pinch of salt. No way should we entertain any deal that involves a release clause.

Meatwad

JazzG
can't get one with leipzig but he would get one with arsenal. yeah i believe that.

Sicario2

Why can I see this happening

FEBravo

I heard we’re monitoring both

Coombs

No problem with a release clause. 500m should be fine.
